Arsenal U19s visit Slavia Prague in the UEFA Youth League on November 4 seeking their second win of the campaign. Arsenal's official preview places them 18th with four points from three matches, while Slavia are second after three victories.
Contrasting starts to the league phase
Arsenal beat Napoli, lost 3-2 to Lille and recovered from two goals down to draw 3-3 with Bayern Munich. Those results keep them in contention without confirming qualification.
The leading 22 teams progress from the league phase. Arsenal are 16 places below their opponents before the meeting.
Slavia beat Lens 2-1, Sabah 3-0 and Fenerbahce 3-1, coming from behind in their latest victory. Arsenal's account says only Real Madrid's goal difference keeps the Czech side off the top.
Previous meeting and match arrangements
The clubs also met in Prague in the 2025/26 campaign. Slavia led by three at half-time, Ceadach O'Neill reduced the deficit and two late home goals completed a 5-1 result.
The new meeting takes place at Sports Centre Radotin. Arsenal give kick-off as 1pm UK time, equivalent to 8pm in Vietnam on November 4, with club coverage scheduled five minutes earlier on its app and website.
Arsenal's next challenge is to turn their recovery against Bayern into an effective performance against opponents in strong form. Slavia aim to maintain their start, while qualification depends on the full phase rather than either side's present position alone.
